San Francisco, Oai, March 23-sNews,
of one of the coolest atage robbesies on
record comes from Milton on the old
stage road to the Yosemite Valley. The
road from Mnsphy's Camp to Milton has
been a~favorite fold for highwaymen and

The stage with seven passengers inolutl.

ton early yesterday morning and the
horses were leisurely walking up a steep
hill, when lone highwaytnan, with a
piece of gunpy-sack over his face;
stepped from the brushat the side of the
road and called halt. He was armed
with q carbine, which he trained on the
driver. The lady passenger shrieked
with terror, whereupon, like one of Bret
Harte's heroes, he calamity assured her
he would modest none of the passengers.
After the driver had thrown down the. box
he was ordered to drive on Q piece.
After the stage had projected
about fifty feet, the robber
again called q halt, and laying his gun
aside he turned his back on the stage,

wedges he proceeded with the utmost
GOODNESS to break open the box. After
accomplishing this feat he rummaged
through it's contents in search of treas
ure. His search was in vain as the box
contained no money or anything of value
The robber did not show any temper at
his bad luck. He inquired Of the driver
Have you got the iron box on board 2
"No," was the reply.
"All right, l guess I'll take your wore
for it. Come and get your box"
With this remark the robber sauntered
away and the driver got the box or
board.
The robber gave the driver o fna
warning to drive on and drive slow
He intimated that If the horses increased
their gait the driver would stand o fan

Weak All Around,

Washington, March 26-It has at last
been decided that Mr.. Fairchild will be
appointed secretary of the treasury
April /. This will be o great improye-
,ment in treasury affairs and it calls at
ltention to d singular fact as to the other
departments where the cabinet officers
have ASSISTANTS. 1t is that ia all but the
interior department the second in rank
is aistronger and more efficient man than
his superior in Office. In the department.
of justice Solicitor General jerks is a
more popular and more efficient lawyer
and politician than Atty.Gen. Garland.
In the state department First Assistant
Secretary of State Porter has better
tact and Is better knowledge of
men and public affairs than
Secretary Bayard. In the post
office department First Assistant POST
master General Stevenson is the idol of
his party, and is liked immensely by
republicans, who regard Villas as o snowy
and pretentious failure, In the interior
department Secretary Lamar, who vas
fret thought to be the weakeat member
OF Cieveland's cabinet, has turned out
to be the strongest and the only one
whom his assa;lants have not over.
Swallowed. The war and navy depart
ments have no assistant secretaries, but
il they had there would certainly be an
improvement on Endicott and the
chance OF a more attentive Official than
Whitney, who spends most Of his time
in New York, rounding up his stock
speculations and other private invest
ments. There could be no stronger com
mentary on the weakness of Cleveland's
cabinet than the state Of affairs here
mentioned and we'll known to every one
who has business to transact with any
OF the executive departments. If the
president would continue in the line oil
improvement begun with Fairehild, his
cabinet would he improved vastly.
